Traditional DFS takes 10-15% of every prize pool as rake. Over time, this mathematically ensures most players lose money. AthX charges just 1-4% transaction fees and is designed for users to build long-term value through portfolios, dividends, and compounding. You trade against the market, not against other players or algorithms.
No. On DFS platforms, high-volume players using optimization software dominate most contests. On AthX, you trade against the market—not other players. Your success is based on your own research and trading decisions, not on competing with professional grinders.
We treat users as partners, not products. User feedback directly influences our development roadmap. We've designed low fees (1-4%) so users can succeed, not high rake (10-15%) to extract value. Your success is literally our success—we profit when you trade, not when you lose.
AthX is designed so that knowledgeable fans can build real portfolio value over time. Dividends compound monthly. Portfolio value grows with smart decisions. Unlike DFS where each contest is independent (win or lose, start over), your wins on AthX build on each other throughout the season.

Prices change based on fantasy point production and market activity. AthX Engine (our projection and scoring system) informs targets and pace; player prices move toward a pace-style price based on current performance vs those expectations. If a player is performing above projection, price can gradually increase. When specific rules apply (like IPO periods), they're shown in-app.
Buy fees: Regular users pay 1%, AthX Pro users pay 0% (free buys!). Sell fees vary based on holding period: 0-7 days is 2.5%, 8-14 days is 2.0%, 15-29 days is 1.5%, and 30+ days is just 0.5%. The longer you hold, the lower your sell fee—this encourages long-term investing.
An IPO is when a new player first becomes available for trading. During the IPO period (usually 3-7 days), the price is fixed at the base price. After the IPO ends, trading opens and prices can move based on performance and market activity.
Free shares (from your first deposit or referrals) cannot be sold manually—they're held until the end of the season. However, they are eligible for dividends and count toward your diverse holdings bonus. At season end, free shares are automatically sold along with all other season-based holdings.
If you hold shares for 30+ days, eligible holdings may earn monthly dividends based on fantasy performance. Each eligible holding earns 1% of its value monthly (12% annually if the player stays on pace). The player must be "on pace" (performing at or above the pace implied by their purchase price) to earn dividends.
Hold 10+ full stocks (1.0+ shares each) of different players and earn a monthly bonus on your total portfolio value. Regular users earn 0.25% monthly (3% annually), while Pro users earn 0.50% monthly (6% annually). This bonus rewards diversification!
Dividends are calculated and paid monthly on the 1st. You'll see dividend payments automatically added to your AthX$ balance and in your transaction history. Dividends are paid in AthX$ (in-app currency).
Share your referral code with friends. When someone signs up using your code and deposits $100+ (can be one deposit or cumulative), you both get a free stock of a random player! You can refer up to 25 people.
Your unique referral code is available in your account settings. Every user gets a referral code automatically when they sign up. Share it with friends, family, or on social media!

You can withdraw available USD anytime through the withdraw page. Withdrawals are processed via Stripe Connect to your bank account. You can only withdraw USD (not AthX$), so you'll need to sell shares first if you want to withdraw.
